Otherwise, the trainee will be considered to have withdrawn from the course. Exceptions may be made at our discretion if sufficient evidence is provided of an extenuating circumstance.

Unit 1 — The exam is offered three times per year: in May, August and November. Once you have completed the 7-month part-time phase, we will email you 10 weeks before each date to start registration. You will need to pass a mock exam with at least 55% in order to register for the official exam.

Unit 2 — You will electronically submit all three projects. There is no set date for submission, but you will need to work with your assigned tutor to complete the projects before support expires. You can request extra support after the deadline for a fee of €200 by contacting Nicola Meldrum

Units 3 and 4 — All available dates are listed on the course description page. We will email you 2 months before each opportunity to start registration. Entries received up to 4–8 weeks before the exam date will be subject to a surcharge of 50%. Entries received fewer than four weeks (28 days) before the examination will not be accepted.

Visas

1. If you choose to attend the 4-week intensive phase in person, it is your responsibility to check if you need a visa for your preferred location. If you are required to apply for a visa, you will need to make an appointment at least two months in advance of travel to ensure that your visa is received in time.
2. If you require a Schengen visa for Spain, you will need to submit your application to BLS International. For other locations, please contact us for more information.
3. If you need a letter of enrolment to present with your visa application, we can send you a PDF letter via email free of charge.
